Live Video: Loyola Travels to Lehigh

Loyola's first big test as a member of the Patriot League
arrives in the form of a trip up to Lehigh to take on the two-time
defending champion Mountain Hawks, who are on their best start
since 1997 at 4-0.

Loyola enters at 3-1 with a 1-0 league record behind a 16-4 win
over Holy Cross last week, a second straight lopsided win coming in
the footsteps of a 20-4 rout of Towson. The Greyhounds first two
contests had both been overtime thrillers, with a loss against
Virginia and a win over Penn State on the road before gaining some
more breathing room in its last two tilts. Nikko Pontrello has 15
goals and 19 points already for Loyola, one goal shy of his career
high from last season.

Lehigh can match its best start since 1960 with a win on
Saturday and has won nine straight regular season games and 13 in a
row against league competition. Reid Weber (7G, 3A), Patrick
Corbett (9G) and Dan Taylor (5, 3) have carried the offensive load
so far for the Mountain Hawks, while Ryan Buttenbaum has won
face-offs at a 61% clip.
